WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

How to build your brand and gain a presence on social media, print, radio and television through thought leadership and remaining relevant. Through our longstanding relationships with key leaders in mainstream media and our insider’s understanding of what goes on behind the headlines we will help get your message to the people who matter.

Content

Communications Strategy
Are your departments working in silos and not working as a team? We can help you get your teams working from the same hymn sheet through transparent, creative internal communications strategies tailor made to your organisation. We also help develop your external communications strategy for communicating to your chosen market.

Mentorship
Need help getting your communications team geared for the future of a multi-media world? We help mentor your team to produce quality content (text, photographs, video) for thought leadership articles in print, facebook posts, twitter feeds, instagram posts. We also train you how to use established digital audience measurement tools like google analytics and face book insights to ensure your message reaches the audience you seek.

Training
In collaboration with our partners, we provide social media and multimedia training for journalists, smmes, parents, NGO’s, trade unions and educators.
